The Real Deal Webinar Series: Trends and Developments in M&A (Part I): Public Company Targets

The fourth installment of The Real Deal, “Trends and Developments in M&A (Part I): Public Company Targets,” was held on April 22, 2014, from 12:00 – 1:30 p.m. (Central). The Real Deal is a webinar series addressing current trends, challenges, and legal topics pertinent to M&A and securities professionals. 

Today’s legal procedures and requirements for transactions involving public company targets are complex. Understanding the shifting landscape and the impact of recent Delaware statutes, cases, and deal trends is critical to getting the deal done. Winston & Strawn partners Oscar David and Eva Davis presented an interactive webinar focused on what you need to know about the latest developments in M&A for public company targets.

This timely presentation featured a discussion of the following hot-button issues:

• Overview of public deal activity
• What’s market (breakup fees, market checks, no shops/go shops, and more)
• Select significant issues (back-end mergers, appraisal rights arbitrage, and “Don’t Ask, Don’t Waive” NDA/standstill issues)
• Recent case law analyzing the role of financial advisors
• Special issues for private equity fund acquirors and controlling stockholder deals
